笔者从事SAP咨询超过15年，做SAP freelancer将近7年。知乎上有人提问做SAP freelancer有哪些注意事项的，闲来无事就说说个人的一些心得吧。 1，要时刻关注业界动态，尤其是相关甲方公司、乙方公司、猎头公司黑名单。 做SAP free一个可能比较大的风险就是遇到一个不靠谱的合作伙伴，即通常freelancer所挂靠的猎头公司。猎头公司通过在业界的一些人脉和客户关系，得到项目需求之后发布广告找到SAP freelancer推荐给客户，通过客户方面试后与SAP freelancer签订劳务合同，派遣freelancer去项目上工作。猎头公司（挂靠公司）从乙方或者甲方那边收取顾问咨询费，抽取佣金后再发给freelancer。很多SAP freelancer只能通过市场上存在的猎头公司才能找到SAP项目机会，而猎头公司也是靠SAP freelancer的人天佣金生存发展。猎头公司和SAP freelancer之间是合作关系，相互成就相互支持，获取该得的利益。当然了如果遇到了不靠谱的甲方或者乙方，猎头公司也难做，也将是受害者。 但是事实上，SAP freelancer面对这些合作伙伴其实是最弱势的一方，如果猎头公司不靠谱，或者合作的甲方或者乙方不靠谱，SAP freelancer很多时候只能是很无辜的受害者。为劳务费与合作伙伴对簿公堂，在业界也是常有的事情，作为当事人的freelancer往往会心力交瘁，忍受诸多的纠结与煎熬。 所幸的是，在SAP咨询顾问圈子里有业界甲方乙方以及猎头公司的黑名单，都是被坑过的SAP同行们尤其是freelancer们总结出来的。SAP freelancer在选择项目机会以及合作伙伴的时候，可以仔细看看未来的合作伙伴是否在黑名单上。如果在，就一定要谨慎一点，避免走别人走过的弯路，避免掉进别人掉过的坑。 2，尽量不做民营企业的SAP项目。这是笔者找SAP项目时候的底线之一，也是笔者总结这么多年freelancer工作经历之后得出的经验教训。 笔者做SAP freelancer六七年，做了七八个项目，大多数项目客户都是总部在欧美的跨国巨头，合作的猎头公司也基本都还靠谱，合作的乙方咨询公司也都不错，挺关照笔者的，至今笔者都与相关同事同行保持着朋友关系。笔者做这些项目基本不存在回款问题，每个月的工资都能在约定好的日期到账，与合作伙伴们的合作都还算顺利愉快。 不走运的是，笔者还是在2个项目里遇到最后一个月工资被拖欠的问题。其中一个项目最后一个月工资竟然拖欠了7个月之后才发，7个月后收到这笔工资竟然让笔者有一种天上掉馅儿饼的感觉。这2个项目的客户方都是民营企业，且都是所在行业里的头部企业，但是意外的出现付款不利索的情况。按理说，客户方是行业里的大公司，根本不差钱，这点咨询费对于其营业收入而言连九牛一毛都不算，不至于拖欠我们的咨询费。并且他们付款不利索并不是我们的项目交付不成功，或者我们的交付质量上有问题，都是因为客户方内部IT服务采购流程，付款流程不畅通导致乙方收不到钱。经历过这2个拖欠工资的民营项目，笔者决定将来不到万不得已绝不会做民营企业的SAP 项目。可以说远离了民营企业的项目，基本可以远离做SAP freelancer可能遇到的所有坑，才能最大程度上保护自己的切身利益和劳动成果。 当然了，不做民营企业只做跨国企业的SAP项目，有一个前提就是作为SAP freelancer个人需要具备比较好的外语能力。很多global 项目有严格的外语面试，尤其是来自甲方客户的欧美总部的core team的外语面试，甚至会遇到印度面试官。只要通过了外语面试，后面的项目工作就好办了，global项目往往周期较长，参与项目的顾问也比较多，分工很细，工作挑战性不会太大。 3，每做一个项目，都要用心做到最好，树立自己在业界良好的职业形象和名声。 SAP freelancer由于是自由职业者，类似于个体工商户，freelancer自己接项目做，这个项目做完了就要自己找下个项目；在项目进行过程中，如果客户不满意，或者乙方不满意，freelancer很可能被要求中途离开，此时也需要自己去找到下一个SAP项目机会。不然freelancer就要面临失业，只能坐吃山空。一句话，这种职业没有长期稳定性和安全感，过于追求工作稳定或者安全感的人不适合做freelancer。 要想长期做freelancer，要想项目间歇期短甚至绝对无缝衔接，就需要freelancer做好每一个项目，在项目交付过程中，保质保量按时完成项目的交付；扩展好自己的人脉，跟项目的甲方客户，乙方合作伙伴以及猎头公司都保持良好的关系，得到他们的认可。试想，如果甲方客户高度认可你，乙方高度欣赏你，猎头公司觉得你靠谱，你还担心找不到项目么？笔者在过去的六七年里，有好几个项目都是同一个大客户主动联系笔者让笔者过去帮忙而得到offer的。笔者也因此在过去这么多年里基本全部实现了新旧项目之间的无缝衔接，也算是获得了工作上的长期稳定和绝对的安全感吧。 -完- 写于2022-5-19.

笔者从事SAP咨询行业已经超过15年，对于SAP咨询行业以及SAP咨询顾问职业，笔者至今都保持着刚入行时候的那种看好，那种期待，那种憧憬。 时代在变，环境在变，全球ERP软件市场和企业发展水平一直在变，国内的ERP软件生态也每天都不同。SAP咨询行业生态与行情，跟笔者刚入行的年代比较起来，早已是沧海桑田，今时不同往日。甲方客户公司，乙方实施公司，相关猎头公司等数量，从业人员数量都远超十年前，SAP咨询行业可以说是发展得如火如荼，兴盛繁华。 经过全体SAP咨询顾问同行们的共同努力，世界500强企业，中国500强企业，该上SAP系统的企业都上过了，能上SAP系统的也都上过了。SAP不仅是世界500强背后的管理大师，也是中国500强背后的管理大师。中国的诸多企业通过投资立项实施SAP系统，优化了企业管理流程，提升了企业管理水平，能更好更顺利的适应经济全球化的大趋势，更方便的实施走出去的企业发展战略。很多野蛮生长而做大做强的民营企业，通过实施SAP系统，让企业管理人员改变了管理思路，变野蛮为优雅，扩宽了国际视野，及时与国际接轨，提升了参与国际竞争的软硬实力。通过实施SAP等ERP系统的信息化建设，企业获得了长足的发展，在数字化日行千里的时代，也能更无缝衔接的实施企业数字化建设。实施了SAP系统的企业，才能更好的实施数字化建设，这已经是业界共识。 大公司都实施完了SAP系统，那么未来是不是就没有SAP顾问的生存和发展空间了呢？这也是行业里很多资深顾问的担忧之处，一些人觉得未来发展空间有限，不如趁早改行转型。个人觉得，同行们的顾忌不无道理，但是完全不必如此悲观。 毕竟现在中国的经济发展太快了，十年前中国经济总量远不能跟美国相比，现在中国经济总量已经接近于美国的80%了。随着中国经济实力的显著增强，经济活力的显著提高，各行各业的企业无论是数量还是质量都发生了天翻地覆的变化。十年后的世界500强中国500强企业名单，跟现在比较起来一定会差异巨大，越来越多的中国企业进入世界500强之列，更多的民营企业会进入中国500强行列。那些不断发展壮大的民营企业，新企业，都是SAP顾问们的潜在客户；那些很早就实施过SAP的国际国内大企业，也面临产业行业经济结构的转型，无时不在进行的资本运作，海外工厂的兼并和出售交易频繁，以及SAP软件系统升级换代的需要，他们也都是SAP顾问们的长期客户。所以笔者完全不担心10年后或者更长远以后SAP项目机会是否缺失的问题。 当然了，作为SAP咨询顾问，也不能过于沉迷于SAP这个系统本身。一定要更多关注和学习企业的业务流程，业务模式，行业发展的特点，积累深厚的行业知识，成为行业专家远比成为SAP技术专家更有价值，更有核心竞争力，更能保障个人职业安全。不管未来SAP或者ERP软件生态发生什么样的颠覆性的变化，只要从业者踏实掌握ERP核心思想，深刻理解供应链（包括财务供应链）的本质，积累足够的行业领域知识，根本不用担心没有发展空间和前景。 -完- 写于2022-5-22.

笔者在SAP咨询行业从业有一些年头了，也服务过将近20个不同行业的大客户。这些客户绝大部分都是世界500强跨国外资企业，也有国内成长起来的在行业里属于头部企业的民营企业。笔者在SAP咨询业界的四大之一的某外资咨询公司干过近9年，2015年笔者辞职下海成为自由职业者（SAP freelancer）至今。今日抽时间就中国国内SAP咨询行业的衰落来说说自己的看法。 跟SAP咨询的黄金时期（上个世纪90年代到新世纪的第一个10年，即2010年以前）相比，不能不说国内SAP咨询行业确实是衰落了。这个衰落的具体体现为如下2个方面： 1，从业人员的个人待遇明显丧失相比其它行业的优势地位，这是作为从业人员的笔者的切身体会。 黄金时期的SAP咨询顾问，工资水平，差旅福利，行业内成长空间等，跟其它行业比较起来，有绝对优越地位。黄金时期SAP咨询顾问出差到全球各地都是入住当地五星级宾馆，每周或者每二周都能flyback回家探亲一次，上下班都是打的，个人还有不菲的出差补贴（高的每人每天800 RMB，低的也有300 RMB左右），所有费用都是公司报销。SAP咨询顾问们利用项目机会，全球各地出差，开拓了国际视野，涨了见识。SAP顾问中的很多人是万豪，香格里拉等五星级酒店的金卡，白金卡，钻石卡会员，是国航东航南航的航空公司的金卡会员，跑遍了欧美东南亚日本等诸多国家。除了这些软福利，SAP咨询顾问的收入水平，跟其它IT从业人员比，也具有非常明显的优势。比如相同资历的SAP咨询顾问与程序员，工资水平可能是3:1甚至5:1。 如今，相同资历的SAP咨询顾问，其个人收入水平跟黄金时期比较起来，不仅没有增加，反而在下降。同时其它IT技术领域从业人员比如Java程序员等工资水平超过了SAP咨询顾问，尤其是在互联网大厂的带动下，这些从事软件研发与设计，系统架构设计，算法设计等IT人员的收入水平足够可以轻松碾压SAP咨询行业从业人员。 SAP咨询行业已经成为传统行业，再也不是如同黄金时期那样的朝阳行业。在行业内部，从业人员的福利待遇等诸多方面，早已处于直线下降的水平。咨询公司办公室内部的茶水间，越来越简陋，越来越寒碜；员工因项目缘故去外地长期出差，入住五星级宾馆的概率越来越小，更多的是入住如家汉庭这样的酒店，甚至是租房子住；出差补贴的标准也锐减至每天100-200RMB；公司对于员工去外地出差，对于机票和高铁票的购买，平时上下班交通费等都有严格的限制，标准越来越低，需要特殊审批的场景和情况越来越多，让从业人员苦不堪言。 2，做SAP咨询业务的咨询公司在内部不断做震荡性的颠覆性结构性的业务调整，SAP咨询业务板块不再是香饽饽。 国内SAP咨询业界的头部四大或者五大，都是跨国巨头，IT业务线很多，SAP咨询只是其中的一条业务线或者部分。在这些公司内部，SAP咨询这块业务，早已不是新兴部门，高利润部门，而是属于夕阳产业了。随着时代的发展，云计算，大数据，人工智能，移动互联网等已经成为这些跨国巨头企业的未来重点发展方向。SAP咨询业务属于它们的鸡肋，这导致这些大公司内部的SAP咨询部门地位越来越低，员工规模不断萎缩，甚至出现整个部门被出售或者被兼并的悲剧结果。黄金时期的这些头部企业，接下的都是预算过亿数千万的大项目，很多公司对于那些预算低于500万的项目都懒得去打单。如今即使是头部咨询公司，对于那些500万以下的SAP咨询项目，也是使出浑身力气参与招投标。在他们看来，蚊子肉也是肉！ 国内本土通过早期做SAP咨询发展起来的那些咨询公司，也在不断拓展咨询业务线，SAP咨询不再是公司内部唯一利润来源，甚至不是核心利润来源。一些本土做大做强的SAP咨询公司，模仿SAP系统的架构和模式，软件设计思想和逻辑，开发出自己的ERP产品，SRM产品，并向客户推荐自己的软件产品，一些公司转型去做大数据，云计算方面的咨询业务。 不管是SAP咨询公司还是SAP咨询顾问个人，都能明显的感觉到SAP咨询行业在走向衰落。很多公司在转型，很多资深SAP顾问也在积极转型改行，以期获得更好的发展。 SAP咨询行业的衰落，绝不是无缘无故，更不是莫名其妙。在这里笔者总结了大致如下3个原因： 第一，SAP咨询公司以及从业人员数量和规模井喷式急剧增长，以价格战为代表的行业内部激烈的竞争，高度的内卷，使得SAP咨询的行情每况日下，越来越难做。 相信很多资深从业人员，尤其是那些售前岗位的从业人员非常深刻的体会到了这一点。因为黄金时期SAP咨询业务的高利润，咨询顾问收入的优越感，使得各行各业的企业或者个人纷纷改行转型挤入SAP咨询行业。笔者认识的SAP同行，除了计算机相关专业，管理相关专业以外，还有化工专业的，医学专业的，机械专业，甚至文科专业的毕业生。几个志同道合的资深SAP咨询顾问，就能合伙成立一家小型咨询公司，然后参与竞争接单做项目。一些大学甚至开设了SAP咨询顾问专业，大规模的批量培养SAP咨询顾问；很多SAP培训机构也在不断快餐式培养大量的SAP顾问。 SAP咨询公司无处不在，SAP咨询顾问漫山遍野，而SAP项目机会只有那么多蛋糕就那么大，说SAP咨询公司之间的竞争接近于白热化，你死我活的态势，一点都不为过。 第二，不管是国内还是国外，各个行业的头部企业，重点企业，规模上的企业，能上SAP系统的都已经上过了，SAP项目机会急剧萎缩，狼多肉少的局面加剧了行业内卷。 第三，随着中国的企业不断参与国际化，不断学习国外的先进管理经验，企业内部的管理水平越来越高。对于企业信息化建设方面，甲方企业与咨询公司之间对于SAP系统和SAP实施项目的认知的不对称程度越来越低。甲方企业有更多的行业内部实施过SAP系统的同行企业可以作为参考，哪些同行企业实施SAP系统获得了成功，企业获得了发展；哪些同行企业实施SAP系统失败了，企业管理水平和效率都下降了；这些同行企业是请了哪家咨询公司帮忙实施SAP系统等等，甲方企业很容易得到第一手信息。另外，很多甲方企业的IT负责人本身就是SAP咨询顾问出身。这些企业的IT负责人他们对于SAP咨询行业有比较深刻的认知，SAP咨询行业内部的各种明规则，潜规则，各种套路，他们门儿清。也即是说，面对甲方客户，咨询公司们需要使出浑身解数，花费更大力气才能得到认可并获得项目机会，价格战是少不了的！ 以上，与众多SAP同行们共勉！ 写于2022-5-28

在数据分析领域，作为开发者和设计师，有的时候往往不能把握客户的心理和期望，开发出适合客户需求的优秀分析内容。为了解决这个问题，本文就从一个客户的视角，从一个餐饮客户的董事长的实际业务管理的需求出发，来展示客户的需求和如何使用SAP 分析云的不同数据分析能力来设计场景和满足这些客户分析需求。 为了更好地表现哪些是客户的需求，哪些是场景和如何设计。本文采用了一个虚拟的公司董事长的形式，用董事长的要求和旁白的方式来演绎。 这是一个全新的尝试，如果读者感兴趣，欢迎留言给出您的意见和建议。 虚拟公司：快乐披萨集团 虚拟人物：皮总- 董事长 快乐披萨集团的董事长皮总最近有点烦，自从创立快乐披萨集团以来，皮总披星戴月带领着小伙伴们共同创业。随着中国经济的进步，消费升级，皮总最近几年业绩发展得很不错，全国门店越开越多，业务越做越大。但是业务发展太快也带来甜蜜的烦恼，管理跟不上了，或者说根本管不过来，皮总的烦恼有点大。 皮总听说SAP公司推出了基于SAP 分析云的餐饮行业数字化董事会，专门帮助老总们做决策，正是所需，赶紧来了解一下。在导入皮总的快乐披萨集团的数据之后，快乐披萨数字化董事会分析会议正式展开。 (点击图形可见清晰大图) 皮总说：首先我最关心整体业务情况，要了解销售的整体情况，哪个地方有问题了，我要能够随时深入研究分析。  整体销售概览：可以看到各类产品的整体销售情况，各品类的占比，每类产品的销售前5名。关键KPI一览无遗，触摸每个分类，销售金额随即变成每个分类的数字。 皮总说：对了，这个总体销售趋势，我能不能再深入一下？ 如果想深入一下，当然可以。点击7月份的销售数据，我们选择下钻。 数据从月度信息直接变成为按天排列的数据了。 皮总说：太赞了，我一直怀疑我们的销售业务是有周期性的，这个图直接就显示了我们的业务是按自然周循环的，业务高峰就在周末。 皮总指着TOP5披萨产品说：那么我的最佳产品，这两个我想要看差异呢？ 要进行最佳的产品比较，直接点击第一名和第二名，柱状图加亮。第二名6寸披萨，比第一名12寸披萨销量低9.67%，差异-2567。 皮总说：OK，业务的总体情况我清楚了，那各个门店的业务如何呢？我想知道前10名门店的情况。 前10名门店的情况分析，最受欢迎的食品销售金额和销量情况，销售额和订单的变化情况，下单渠道的占比情况，都可以直接显示出来。 皮总说：我要看第一名的单店业绩。 手指触摸第一名，第一名自动加亮，在相同的页面上，数据自动过滤，单店业绩直接展示： 皮总说：很好，第一名比上个月，又有较大的增长。这个是我们的明星门店，大家追赶的目标。不过第一名的业务从店面面积上快接近饱和了，但厨房配餐能力还是有增长空间的。我们看看外卖情况，能否从这里寻找突破？ 外卖情况如何呢？第一名是美团，业绩不错，占下单渠道的15.02%，第二名是饿了么，占比还是比较小，为3.93%。 皮总说：嗯嗯，不错，外卖还有不错的增长空间。另外微信堂食占点单的最大一块，比POS机堂食高多了。现在进入了移动时代，人人都有智能手机，这可以帮我节省大量的人力，现在门店放一台POS机就行了，我要把手机点单推广到全国的门店。对了，可以搞个活动，凡是手机点单我可以给5%的优惠。 SAP分析云还提供智能洞察功能，系统可以自动提示对数据的理解，比如：“微信堂食的金额是最大的贡献因素，高于平均值521%”，这是系统对数据的自动分析，帮助客户对数据有更好的理解。 皮总说：说起打折、促销，SAP分析云能帮我们分析产品吗？比如哪些产品适合打包一起促销？ 当然可以，SAP分析云可以对产品进行聚类分析，根据消费者的行为，哪些消费者喜欢一起买的的产品可以自动标定。设定新的促销打包方式，可以直接根据这些可视化分析数据来安排。 皮总说：好的，营销部以后都要采用这种方式。对了，右边的披萨产品，能否深入看看哪些是我们的明星产品呢？ 触摸点击，进一步下钻，各分类逐次展开和呈现。 皮总说：太棒了，第一名遥遥领先。对了，这也是问题，我不能只有一个明星产品啊，其它的产品差距有点大。我要给产品部门定个KPI，一年时间，肉类披萨一定要出个跟榴莲披萨一样的明星产品。 皮总接着说：刚才看了销售、门店和产品情况，我还要看看我们的客户情况。 客户的基本情况分析： 皮总：我们会员这块的工作还需要加强，还有大量的数据未知项，我们要捕捉更多的数据，才能有更精准的洞察。会员里面年轻人还是居多的，这个跟我在门店观察的现象是一致的，我们要成为年轻人心中最棒的披萨店，这个是我们的核心客户群，我们要更好地服务年轻人，更懂年轻人。还有没有更深入的分析模型呢？ […]
